COVID-19 Hunger Relief Response Fund
The COVID-19 virus is having a significant impact on all residents of Eagle County, but the impact is especially hard on financially vulnerable families. In this time of crisis, the Board of Directors at the Eagle Valley Community Foundation (EVCF) is focused on hunger relief. The board has seen the increasing demand for food among vulnerable people, and has launched the EVCF COVID-19 Response Fund to raise the significant capital needed to fund our hunger relief plan.

We are requesting your help to feed local families in crisis. Donate today!

MIRA: Mobile Intercultural Resource Alliance
MIRA (Mobile Intercultural Resource Alliance) is meeting people where they are — our mobile RV goes TO neighborhoods with limited resources, providing trust and easy access. MIRA is a 40-foot RV that serves as a safe, accessible place for families to connect with comprehensive health resources and services in the community where they live. Coordinating with local community organizations and health providers as it travels to various locations across the county, MIRA provides a wide variety of resources to underserved populations. These resources include basic health education, screenings, immunizations, financial assistance, early childhood programs, and physical activity programs. MIRA’s approach to wellness combines conventional referrals and complementary service approaches to help people live healthy and fulfilling lives.
